Anti-Diurtetic Hormone is a hormone used by your kidneys and determines how much water your body retains or excretes. It is made in the hypothalamus (homeostasis control center of sorts) and this hormone directly effects blood pressure and body water composition

∙ 13y agoADH stands for Anti diuretic hormone also known as Vasopressin.
- It is a peptide hormone that controls the re-absorption of molecules in the tubules of the kidneys by affecting the tissue's permeability.
- it also increase peripheral vascular resistance which in turn increase arterial blood pressure.
- it plays a key role in homeostasis and regulation of water,glucose and salts in the blood.

∙ 14y agoADH stimulates the cells of the collecting duct in the kidney to insert water channels (aquaporins) into their luminal membranes; this increases water resorption in the kidneys.

What two hormones regulate water balance?
the anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) and Aldosterone
What two hormones stimulate production of all other sex hormones during adolescence?
ADH and MSH
What hormone is released from the posterior pituitary gland?
The posterior pituitary gland does not actually produce any hormones, instead they are produced by the hypothalamus, then stored in the posterior pituitary which releases them when they are needed. The two hormones stored and released by the posterior pituitary are Oxytocin and Antidiuretic Hormone or vasopressin. The function of Oxytocin is to produce uterine contractions before and after child birth and also to eject milk during breast feeding. Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) also known as vasopressin, controls the production of urine. If we are dehydrated, then ADH is released and inhibits the production of urine, leaving more fluid available to circulate around the body.
What The posterior pituitary stores and releases?
That is correct. The hormones, oxytocin and ADH are manufactured in the hypothalamus and delivered to the posterior pituitary via the supraopticohypophyseal tract.
What two main hormoes does the pituitary gland produce?
Pituitary gland produces growth hormone and anti-diuretic (ADH) hormones as two main hormones.
What are three hormones that can regulate kidney function?
ADH, Aldosterone and Atrial Natriuretic peptide(ANP)
What are the two hormones that are produced in the hypothalamus but stored in the pituitary?
Oxitocin, and ADH
What hormones are involved in the thirst mechanism?
ADH
What two hormones regulate water balance?
the anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) and Aldosterone
What is Antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and Oxytocin are both hormones stored and secreted by the posterior pituitary gland. The main functions of Oxytocin are aiding in sexual reproduction. The main function of ADH is retaining fluid in the body.
What two hormones stimulate production of all other sex hormones during adolescence?
ADH and MSH
Which two hormones normally have the greatest influence on the kidneys?
Aldosterone and ADH

What hormones increase blood volume and blood pressure and how?
aldosterone ADH
What are three hormones that produce vasoconstriction?
norepinephrine, epinephrine and angiotensin II
Kidney function is influenced by which hormone?
ADH
Which hormones are important in stimulating water conservationin the kidneys?
ADH conserves water in kidneys ]
